Jazz Vocal Warm-Up – Swing Feel, Scat Singing & Flexibility on „Softly As In the Morning Sunrise“

A fun and energizing jazz vocal warm-up using a classic jazz standard (*Softly As In the Morning Sunrise*). Sing along with structured breaks to develop listening skills, timing, swing feel, scat singing and jazz vocal confidence — preparing your voice and ears for fast swing and jazz improvisation. ✨ What this video helps you practice • Jazz vocal warm-up with an active swing feel • Scat singing & jazz improvisation • Timing, groove & forward motion • Listening skills & ear training • Reacting musically instead of overthinking 🎧 Tip Don’t stare at the screen to catch the syllables — use your ears and stay in the groove. Swing lives in time, not in your eyes. 🧩 How to use this exercise • Sing along with my scat lines • Use the breaks to respond musically • If it feels fast, simplify (melody OR syllables) • If you lose the form, jump back in — keep moving • Fill the silent bars with your own ideas 🕰️ Video Chapters (Structure follows the song form – adapt timestamps if needed) 📥 Practice Material (Audio & Sheet Music) ➡️ Audio + Sheet Music https://www.scatkitchen.com/shop 🎙️ Work with me Book a trial vocal lesson (Jazz • Pop • Improvisation): ➡️ https://www.scatkitchen.com/vocalcoac... 🎼 Song Information “Softly As In the Morning Sunrise” Music: Sigmund Romberg Key: A minor Tempo: 160 BPM Style: Fast Swing 🎶 Backing Track Created with iReal Pro https://irealpro.com 🎥 Credits Video production, direction & editing: Judith Gippert Music production & vocals: Judith Gippert 🔗 Follow & Connect Instagram:   / judith_gippert   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?...
